William T. Allen, chairman of WernerCo, added: “Centaure, Duarib and Haemmerlin brands are widely recognised in Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Russia. CDH’s access product range and Haemmerlin’s leading position in wheelbarrows fits well with WernerCo’s strategic development in these markets. This acquisition is a key component of our worldwide growth strategy and will benefit our customers by allowing us to offer a single integrated portfolio of construction site and access products.”
